Granted, the stats of some of the echos are highly skewed with
the repetative auto-posts with rules and stuff. However, it is
good to have something to indicate that some life in them
exists and that someone has an eye on them.

I suppose it's a lot like tuning into a ham-radio channel and
hope that someone is there to have a chat.
The ELIST provides a healthy list of FTN echos. People simply
need to contribute to the ones that they are interested to see
spring with more life.
